"Dowry of a Minstrel" 011612

My FIRST EVER Open Mic Night Poetry Reading at Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea located at 123 W Washington Street in Ann Arbor, Michigan, on January 16, 2012. The event was sponsored and produced by Skazat!, formerly Millennium Poetry.

"Dowry of a Minstrel" was written on April 19, 1991 and is found in Chapter 3: Valley, on page 71 of "Taking Tea in the Black Rose: Singing Through the Shadows Until We're Dancing in the Light". It is a commemorative poem about the time I spent in Aix-en-Provence, France, in 1987.
